AI based on deep learning (DL) performs no better than random quessing outside it's training data.

Why?

DL is just fancy data compression able to only rehash the past.

With occasional generalization on toy problems not representative of reality.

The statement from the abstract discusses the limitations of eliminative connectionist models in AI and suggests that these models cannot effectively generalize beyond their training data. It proposes that an architecture implementing symbol manipulation might overcome these limitations. This statement is part of a broader discourse on the capabilities and future directions of AI technologies, engaging with critical issues in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It respects the dignity of others by maintaining a professional and objective tone, focusing solely on the topic of AI models without derogating any individuals or groups. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The content promotes understanding by clarifying a complex issue within AI, potentially aiding in the comprehension of non-experts or those new to the topic. [+1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
